Kiwi Tennis Club
February 2010, Tencap Club of the Month
Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
Kiwi Tennis Club is a premier tennis facility located in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. Kiwi Tennis Club features 13 lit courts (9 clay, 4 hard).
The club also boasts a state-of-the-art exercise facility, pro shop, casual fine dining and banquet facilities.
With the launch of their new Tencap Tennis website in late October, Kiwi hosted Tencap Information Sessions to help their members get a better
understanding of the ratings and how the site would be used. Finally, they had a Halloween-themed launch party, where they played Tencap
trivia games and gave away Tencap Tennis caps as prizes. Theresa Howard, General Manager at Kiwi Tennis Club said "This was a fun and easy
way to teach people about the Tencap Tennis system, and get them excited about using it."
Since the launch, Kiwi has run many events through their new site, including weekly ladies leagues, flex leagues, clinics and USTA Groups. The
event that is creating the most buzz is the Florida Beer Company League. Kiwi has partnered with the local brewery, and when members play a
match, the loser has to buy the winner a beer and the club/Florida Beer Company buys the winner a beer. Players must earn an Official Tencap
Rating to participate.
Murray Lilley, Head Tennis Pro, says "What I really like about Tencap is that it gives players a realistic view of their abilities. That's
not something they get from their own self-evaluation or USTA rating."
It's been a very successful launch at Kiwi Tennis Club, and they plan to continue using their new Tencap-powered site to attract, connect and
retain their valued members. Starting the 2010 season, Theresa Howard said "I see tremendous opportunities to increase value to our members
from what Tencap offers and future networking opportunities with other Tencap clubs."
